Team Model

Feeding and swallowing problems are reported in 10-25% of all children, 40-70% in premature infants, and 70-90% in children with medical/developmental delays (Graham, 1985; Rogers & Arvedson, 2005; Sullivan et al., 2000). The etiologies of feeding disorders are as varied as the multiple disciplines, approaches, and interventions available. This paper illustrates, through case presentation, an interdisciplinary feeding team model that incorporates an oral, motor, medical, and behavioral approach to treating children with feeding disorders.

Pediatric Feeding

Pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders are common. Given the multiple and overlapping factors playing major roles in the development of normal feeding and swallowing, a multidisciplinary team approach is recommended to provide a comprehensive assessment and directed therapy. Patient care is provided in a coordinated and collaborative fashion, thus providing the most efficient and easiest access to care. In this regard, the quality of care for children with feeding and swallowing problems is improved.

Pediatric Feeding

Objective: To evaluate symptoms of pediatric feeding disorders in a sample of individuals with 3q29 Deletion Syndrome. Previous research has found that individuals with 3q29 deletion syndrome (3q29Del) may experience elevated feeding concerns in early childhood; however, the specificity of these feeding concerns in this pediatric population is not well understood. Methods: We compared individuals with 3q29Del (n = 60) to matched controls (n = 59) using an 11-item survey that assessed commonly reported symptoms associated with pediatric feeding disorders. An exploratory analysis also examined individuals with 3q29Del with and without a comorbid autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis. Results: Caregivers of 3q29Del cases reported higher incidences of feeding concerns on all 11 items included in the survey. This included statistically significant differences in food refusal behaviors, rejection of one or more food group, and a history of failure to thrive. Parents of children with comorbid autism were more likely to report concerns regarding rejection of one or more food group compared to children with 3q29Del without autism. Conclusions: Results suggest individuals with 3q29Del experience increased symptoms of pediatric feeding disorders. Future research should include a more thorough multidisciplinary evaluation to further document the severity and identify optimal remediation strategies.

Common Problems

FEEDING DISORDERS AND dysphagia are common problems seen in premature infants following their discharge from the NICU. A major factor in the growing incidence of these problems is the number of infants born and surviving between 23 and 25 weeks gestational age, which has increased dramatically over the past decade. These infants experience both a lengthier exposure to noxious oral stimuli and a longer time until they develop the suck/swallow coordination that makes oral feeding safe.1 Oral feeding is generally not offered before 32–34 weeks gestational age, when the preterm infant’s sucking pattern begins to resemble that of a term infant.2,3 Therefore, there may be an 8- to 9-week lag between birth and oral feedings in a 23- or 24-week gestational age infant.
